I honestly cannot understand why you would want to watch something on a smart watch. i can just about understand a tablet because it's relatively portable, but even a phone is too small!
I have been watching YouTube on it once, because my phone died… and I was somewhere that I wanted to leave but couldn’t… So I was bored as fuck and that was the best thing I could do.
I have so many questions. How were you able to watch YouTube on your watch if your phone was dead? Are you one of those rich people who pays for a data plan for their watch? Or if you were at home on WiFi, what was preventing you from charging your phone? Didn’t feel like getting up to grab the charger?
The watch is a WiFi one, it worked because it had the connection of wifi from there.
I wasn’t home, didn’t have a charger, and althought I could have asked for one my phone like was like dead I would have needed to be next to the plug to use it and in any case my hope was I could leave soon so I didn’t want to bother.
I think maybe because it’s a movie known for putting a lot of effort into high detail visuals so watching at low quality wastes the effort put into them? idk I didn’t watch it
Reminds me of this video by hbomberguy I watched a couple days ago. It talks about (among other things) how the poor quality of VHS tapes influenced the experience of watching movies, especially the horror genre.
All this to say, it’d be funny if a new type of movie/video emerged that’s great for watching on a tiny smartwatch screen but not so much on anything bigger.
We can already see this to some effect in direct to stream movies. The cinematography is geared towards viewing on smaller screens compared to being best viewed in a movie theater.
My immediate thought was toward enshittification. He didn’t make shit it was turned to shit. Which is exactly what happens to most things that slowly becomes popular.
There’s this stupid theory, that men who “lean in” to the womans side are beta. People who believe this theory post edited pictures of famous couples with an added green line to show how the man is leaning in or show how a man is leaning out to explain that he’s an alpha. Obviously, this is complete BS.
